Everyone faces a commute that's just a bit different. From what time they leave home in the morning to the specific route they take, each commuter must find customized travel solutions to meet their individual needs. The more choices that are available, the more opportunity there is to develop a personalized commute solution.

Transit - traveling all or a portion of the commute on rail, ferries, buses or shuttles. Some programs which support transit include Commuter Choice Tax Incentives, transit pass programs, Bus/HOV lanes for buses, and guaranteed ride home (a program offering an emergency ride home for employees with personal emergencies or unplanned overtime).

Commuters often adjust their travel schedules to avoid rush-hour or to work around childcare or school schedules. The following alternatives can reduce rush-hour congestion, mitigate worksite access problems and parking crunches and decrease commuter stress:

Often times, the location and design of an employees' residence and worksite can have significant impacts on the difficulty and length of the commute. Teleworking eliminates the need for the commute altogether, even if it's just a few days a week:

"Live Near Your Work" - programs providing incentives for employees to live near their place of employment. Examples include down payment assistance, location-efficient mortgages and rent subsidies.

On-Site Services - providing services for employees on-site to eliminate the need for employees to have their cars at work every day. Examples include cafes, daycare, banking/ATM, dry cleaning and more.

Telework - Telework brings the job to the person rather than bringing the person to the job. In addition to eliminating the daily commute, teleworking can reduce the demand for office space and parking facilitates.

After the government funding expired, Libraries and Directories, Inc assumed the full operational burden of maintaining the site because of the belief that the best way to address oil consumption is through conservation.
